Ordinance Enforcement

The Village of Berrien Springs received a practical and creative solution from Wightman’s GIS team to help coordinate and facilitate ordinance infractions within the village. 

The team began with developing a custom GIS database and strategized a way for the Village of Berrien Springs to effectively issue and maintain historical ordinance infractions. The ordinance officer has the ability to issue a violation, capture the evidence of the infraction, and print a citation at the residence while storing all the data in GIS. Local leaders can view the progress and repeat offenders through the code enforcement web application and dashboard. This suite of applications helps the ordinance officer stay organized with upcoming inspections while addressing residential complaints. The deployment will be tailored to meet the individual demands of each municipality and adhere to the local ordinance regulations, while allowing for custom workflows and sophisticated automation, enabling a comprehensive end user experience.

This type of system can help municipalities enforce ordinances more effectively while saving time, improving transparency, and enhancing community engagement.
